The Utopian Capitalist

An intermittently maintained placeholder for random clips, bits, observations, paranoid fantasies, links, quotes, and other stuff which would otherwise emailed randomly. Pseudonymous to respect the fiction of internet anonymity. Who am I? A somewhat disgruntled (not yet curmudgeonly) fellow, inconsistent, contrary, generally optimistic, still idealistic (some say naive) explorer of the world and its wonders. Sometimes it's hard to know what to do - is this Blog a mere substitute for real action?

WSJ Question of the Day

Are Bush's policies helping or hurting the economy?


Results - 55% Help, 32% Hurt, 13% No difference.

WOW! Here's my response, which probably won't be posted:

55% say Bush's economic policies are helping? You people are delusional. To whit:
-an unnecessary war of aggression, prosecuted with 100% borrowed money;
-record deficits due to tax cuts for the wealthiest
-Unfunded programs mortgaging the future - Medicare drug giveaway, no child left untested, pork-barrel earmarks
-wholesale looting of the public treasure for and by private interests
-and spending cuts for all the programs which do good (forest service, national parks, renewable energy, EPA) and spending increases for authoritarian bads - prisons, persecutions, and surveillance.


And this blog is fake, the discussion "moderation" amounts to censorship.

(Why do I bother - the "moderator" won't post this anyway).
